SJK Hosting

At SJK Hosting they make purchasing and setting up your account very, very easy. They just have three plans: Starter, Standard, and Professional which are $10, $20, and $30 respectively. They tout themselves for business (which is the Enterprise service for $50 a month), but with their Starter plan, you can get online with a photo album, blog, or other personal site that doesn't require the need for huge transfers or storage space. They only offer limited subdomains, FTP accounts and e-mail accounts on their Start and Standard packages, but they offset that with award winning customer service and support. They primarily host websites for business and customers in the Detroit area, but they do offer their services to those around the United States and the world.

Quality Versus Cheap

If you want to pay $1 a month for web hosting services, expect to get the bare minimum of support and overall help. You can find all kinds of these on the Internet, but they usually have offices everywhere and have no ties to a state or city. By keeping the commerce of the Michigan website host you choose within Michigan, you will stay loyal to your state and help a "local" business keep up with the hosting services that deal in quantity instead of quality.
